Jed John Steer (born 23 September 1992, in Norwich) is an English footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Aston Villa.
Steer joined Villa from his hometown club Norwich City on 1 July 2013, after beginning his playing career with the Canaries.[3] He has also played on loan for Yeovil Town, Cambridge United and Doncaster Rovers, as well as England at under-16, under-17 and under-19 level.
Early life
Steer joined the Norwich City Academy at the age of 9. He was spotted playing in goal and City invited the youngster for a trial. It was not long before he was offered a youth contract by them.[4]
Club career
Norwich City
Steer signed his first professional contract on his 17th birthday. He was first named as a substitute for the FA Cup Second Round tie against Carlisle United in the 2009–10 season. Steer played a vital role in the 2010–11 FA Youth Cup; in the Third Round, he saved a penalty in the last minute against Charlton Athletic to ensure Norwich won the game 1–0. His coach Ricky Martin said after the game;[5]
"He's probably the best under-18 goalkeeper in the country, If ever you wanted somebody in goal Jed's the one and he stepped up and made a fantastic save."
He made his first-team debut on 28 January 2012, in a fourth round FA Cup 2–1 victory against West Bromwich Albion.[6]
Yeovil Town (loan)
In July 2011, Yeovil Town confirmed that Steer had joined them on a three-month loan deal.Steer made his first senior appearance and Football League debut in the opening game of the 2011–12 Football League One season in which Yeovil lost 2–0 away to Brentford.[7] He returned to Norwich on 13 October after suffering a thigh injury.[8]
Cambridge United (loan)

Aston Villa
On 26 June 2013, Aston Villa announced that they would sign Steer on 1 July when he became a free agent.[3]
The deal went forward according to plan. Villa gave him the number 13 shirt, replacing Shay Given and therefore securing the No.2 spot. He played in the League Cup 2nd round win against Rotherham United 3 - 0, keeping a clean sheet. He also kept a clean sheet in Villa's 1–0 pre-season victory of MLS side Houston Dynamo on 26 July 2014.

In August 2008, he was called up for the England U17, aged 15, for friendly matches against Italy, Portugal and Israel.
